IMPROVEMENT IN EXTENSION-TABLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 142,586, dated September 9, 1873; a lication filed June 7, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that 1, JOHN M. SAGKMAN, of Itidgeville, in the county of Randolph and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combination Extension-Table, of which the following is a specification:

My invention relates to an extension-table, which may be readily separated into parts to form a center or side tables, as hereinafter more specifically set forth.

In the drawing, Figure 1 represents a vertical section of Fig. 2 taken onthe line so as. Fig. 2 represents the table turned bottom side up, giving a plan view. Fig. 3 is a detail, showing the dovetail for attaching the extension-rails, by the application of metallic fastenings, for the combination of two or more tables or counters.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts. I

A A are the permanent parts of the table, each provided with three legs, B, and a semicircular top, 0. They are complete side-tables in themselves, and when put together they form a table of oval form, suitable for a break fast-table. "When in this position the parts are held together by'the hook and pin D 0. (See Fig.2.) E Fare the extension-rails. These rails may be of any desired length, to make the table longer or shorter but ordinarily the table will be extended to about the length of eight feet. They are attached to the legs by means of dovetail plates F at each end, and on the legs, as seen in Fig. 3. G represents the loose filling when the tableis thus extended. In dotted lines in Fig. 2 another form is shown, the tops 0 0 being removed,

and a four-legged table being formed with the filling, as indicated in the drawing. H represents ornamental supporting-brackets in the angles formed by the legs and table-top. These brackets are attached by means of dowel-pins and screws, so that they can be readily removed. The top is attached by means of dovetails I, so that the legs and rails can be readily disconnected from the top, thus making what is known as a knock-down table for storage or transportation.

In this table it will be noticed that there are no extension-slides to swell and bind, no

hinges to break, and no leaves to warp; and

I the table is changed from one size and shape Witnesses:
